Daytona Beach Nursing Home Negligence Attorneys

Fighting for Victims & Their Families throughout Volusia County and
Flagler County

Because Florida has an ever-growing elderly population, nursing home negligence
and abuse have become more common. As the elderly population increases,
the current facilities expand to meet the need. However, in order to maximize
profit, the nursing home and assisted living facilities minimize the number
of attendant care workers at each facility. Additionally, the facilities
rely heavily on low-paid attendants who are frequently poorly trained
to provide care to your loved one. Sadly, many of the facilities do not
even conduct criminal background checks on their new employees.

At Sands, White & Sands, we work closely with the families of nursing
home residents who have been injured through neglect or abuse. If you
are concerned that neglect, carelessness, or abuse was involved in the
care of a loved one or a close friend, then you should speak with one
of our compassionate and experienced nursing home negligence attorneys
in Daytona Beach to discuss the claim further.

Types of Claims We Handle

At Sands, White & Sands, we handle all types of claims against nursing
homes, including claims for injuries that have occurred as the result
of nursing or medical carelessness, neglect, or outright abuse. Residents
of nursing homes and assisted living facilities have specific rights,
and a violation of these rights can lead to a claim for damages, even
if the resident passes away for reasons separate and apart from the neglect.

As the loved one of someone in a nursing home or assisted living facility,
it is important that you know how to recognize common signs of abuse or
neglect. Residents are not always able or willing to speak up for themselves.
They may not even realize what is going on is abuse. It is crucial, therefore,
that you notice and report any signs of abuse or neglect right away.

This list is not exhaustive. If you notice anything unusual or “off,”
it is best to trust your instincts. If nursing home abuse or neglect
has occurred, it is important that you act quickly to put a stop to the abuse
and take appropriate legal action against the negligent parties.

How to Tell If You Have a Claim

First, you should contact us and speak with one of our legal assistants,
who will take down the initial information and immediately discuss it
with one of our attorneys. The attorney will review the claim and personally
call you that day to discuss your concerns. At that time, they will likely
schedule a meeting with you to discuss the case in more detail. The attorney
will request that you or a loved one sign medical authorizations so that
the nursing home facilities records can be obtained, which usually takes
between two to three weeks. Once the records have been received, the attorney
will review the records to determine if a potential claim exists.

Will There Be Any Charge for This Investigation?

No. We do not charge attorneys’ fees or other relevant costs unless
we secure a recovery on your behalf. At that time, our fees are paid through
a predetermined percentage of the recovery. Our Daytona Beach nursing
home abuse attorneys will discuss payment with you during the initial
consultation. We will go over the Attorney Fee Contract with you and discuss
the percentage of recovery that will be used to pay our fees at the conclusion
of your case. There is no upfront cost for you.

If you suspect your elderly loved one is the victim of nursing home abuse
or neglect, we encourage you to contact us as soon as possible. Remember,
your loved one does not have to reside in an actual nursing home in order
to have a claim. Any abuse or neglect on the part of a hired caregiver
can result in a claim against the negligent party/parties.
